THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM. # ~
The proposition to establish an expert
mental farm IS occupying the minds of
many Of the agricultura.ists, but the loca-
ton has not been decided upon. Some be-
lieve that it should be in Morton county,
but this county having failed to secure the
farm through the able and herculean efforts
of Hon. III. w. COe two years ago, it is
feared that it must go to some other point,
and that the South Dakota members will
endeavor to locate it in Yankton.

[From Tuesdays Daily.]
The religious services in Bismarck on
Sunday were the most intensely interest
ing and entertaining for many moons.
They began in earnest early in the morn-
ing, with a sort of an early mass, in which
Father Fletcher, of Brown county officiated
ably. assisted by the Rev. E. A. Will
liams, Deacon McCumber, Elder Mat
thews, Evangelist Foster and Bishop Wash
abaugh. Several of these gentlemen ar
rived with the throng of sanctimonious So
Ions who came in Saturday evening, and
all retired early, that the legislative work
might be commenced with appropriate SER
wees on the quiet Sabbath morn. In the
afternoon the interest became so great that
many OF the congregation were compelled
to stand up against the bar and billiard ia
bles at the Cathedral de Sheridan, and
upon the arrival of Cardinal Aiken, the
handsome gentleman with the st. Francis
curls, who. by the way, was candidate
for the throne in the house of worship at
the capitol, high mass was held, with the
cardinal as the admired and worshipped
central figure Of the throng.
The services were the most imposing of
any ever witnessed in the CITY, In fact, it
Was about two thirds posing on the part of
the reverential candidates., the handsome
Cardinal Aiken winning first prize for
grace OF carriage, magnlfcence of facial
expression and grandeur of attitude. The
ceremonies in the cathedral were in many
respects novel, and as the music of the
Sabbath bells came quiverng through the
colorless ether, the officiating divines
gave very creditable performance.
1t was indeed edifying and instructive
to see the eloquent Father Fletcher
spring from the pulpit into the ''sinct"
room, ana thrust his pale white index fin
ger Through the butJonhOle of one of the
flock, While the pastor, Williams, entwined
his graceful arm about the neck OF a re-
pentant parlshioner. With Bishop Wash
abaugh grabbing worshiping solon by
the coat and crowding him into an unoccu-
pied corner, Evangelist Foster whispering
words OF love and advice into the ear of all
other, Deacon McCumber pursuing group
OF fleeing sinners III an attempt to bring
them back to the narrow path. and Cardl-
nal AlkenS gazing over all with Il sublime
and inspiring placidity of counJenance, the
scene was worthy OF the halls OF ancient
Rome. VesperS were sung in the evening
and the services were extended until early
dOminies Of Dakota politics reIlreu for d
few hours rest during which they could
slip from their prIesJly robes and prepare
for their Monday rustling as colonels and
majors and honOraOles galore.
THE BLossoMING BUDS.
On Monday morning the seeds sown on
the Sabbath had developed into promising
buds, over which the newspaper buzzards
scared for several long and weary hours to
see them blossom. The blossoming was
slow, and not until the shades of evening
crept along the trails Of the boomers now
walking thoughtfully back to their eastern
homes could you tell which would be the
rose and which the thistle. The day was
one of intense excitement, and with the
buttonholeing and shoulder tapping, en-
twining and neck-encircling of the candi-
dates and their friends. the scene could
have been truthfully described as grand
Gr@cO- Roman wrestling match, in which
the audience knew little of the falls.
In the morning pools were selling in IA
vor Of Foster for president of the council
and Fletcher for speaker of the house, but
the tide turned about noon, and the bulle-
